INTRODUCTION 


A  CHECK  LIST  of  North  American  Amphibians  and 
Reptiles  has  long  been  wished  for  by  all  students  of 
American  Herpetology.  This  list  has  been  prepared  gen- 
erally upon  the  lines  of  the  American  Ornithologists'  Union 
Check  List  of  Birds,  and  following  that  example,  it  has  in- 
cluded the  species  and  subspecies  which  the  authors  deem 
valid  1  and  of  certain  occurrence  in  North  America,  north  of 
the  Rio  Grande,  and  in  Lower  California,  Mexico.  Miller's 
List  of  North  American  Land  Mammals  (Bull.  U.  S.  Nat. 
Mus.,  No.  79,  1912)  has  also  been  a  valued  guide. 

This  volume  is  the  result  of  lists  begun  some  years  ago 
independently  by  both  authors.  The  arrangement  is  on 
the  following  system:  The  higher  groups  and  genera  are 
in  systematic  sequence,  the  species  are  in  alphabetic  order. 
No  attempt  is  made  to  give  synonyms.  Species  not  listed 
are  believed  to  be  invalid.  The  citation  of  original  appear- 
ance of  names  is  given  for  all  except  such  (e.  g.,  family 
names)  as  are  formed  automatically.  Following  the  citation 
of  the  original  description  of  each  species  comes  the  place  of 
first  appearance  of  the  name  in  its  present  combination  — 
accurate  in  so  far  as  we  have  been  able  to  determine.  Refer- 
ences are  added  to  Cope's  North  American  Batrachia  and 
to  his  Crocodilians,  Lizards,  and  Snakes  of  North  America. 
Both  are  frequently  erratic  and  inaccurate,  but  large  and 
excellent  portions  of  both  works  are  to  a  great  extent  from 
the  pen  of  S.  F.  Baird,  as  painstaking  an  investigator 
as  this  country  has  produced.     These  monographs  are  in 

1  By  this  statement  it  is  not  meant  that  the  authors  in  all  cases  have  verified  the  status  of  a  number 
of  more  recently  established  forms  by  critical  study.  The  judgment  of  reliable  workers  has  been 
accepted  where  no  special  reason  appeared  to  contraindicate  the  validity  of  the  form.  As  for  the  ad- 
mission of  subspecies  —  or  rather  trinominal  designation  —  for  certain  forms  no  special  attempt  has 
been  made  at  consistency,  the  authors  on  principle  leaning  towards  binominals  in  all  cases  where  the 
need  of  trinominals  has  not  been  clearly  established. 


iv  INTRODUCTION 

widespread  use,  and  constitute  the  most  recent  attempts 
toward  complete  lists.  In  the  case  of  the  difficult  genus 
Thamnophis  references  are  given  to  Ruthven's  excellent 
review.  Common  names  for  reptiles  and  amphibians  are 
in  great  confusion,  and  are  often  of  generic  rather  than  of 
specific  application.  No  attempt  is  made  to  recognize  any 
except  those  which  are  in  well-established  usage.  The  host 
which  have  been  recently  coined  by  various  writers  are  fre- 
quently inapt  and  almost  surely  unlikely  to  survive.  It  is 
entirely  possible  that  some  vernacular  names  really  often 
used  have  escaped  our  notice,  since  many  are  in  restricted 
local  use.  The  type  localities  are  as  nearly  exact  as  it  is 
possible  to  determine.  This  cannot  be  said  regarding  the 
ranges.  Many  are  obviously  faulty,  but  a  sincere  attempt 
has  been  made  to  collect  records  of  authentic  captures;  how- 
ever, with  a  literature  so  extensive  and  so  scattered,  records 
have  almost  surely  been  overlooked.  In  many  cases,  our 
knowledge  does  not  warrant  drawing  hard  and  fast  lines  de- 
limiting a  form's  occurrence,  and  we  often  state  ranges  in 
purposely  general  terms.  There  still  is  opportunity  for 
valuable  field  work  to  determine  the  precise  distribution  of 
many  of  our  most  common  species.  An  example  is  the  recent 
discovery  that  Virginia  valeriae  is  far  from  rare  in  parts  of 
New  Jersey. 

Our  hearty  thanks  are  due  to  many  for  information  and 
advice,  especially  to  Samuel  Henshaw,  John  Van  Denburgh, 
and  Alex.  G.  Ruthven. 

G.  K.  Noble  has  assisted  considerably  in  verifying  refer- 
ences and  searching  literature,  and  for  this  assistance  he  has 
our  grateful  remembrance.

examine  the  type,  if  it  still  exists  at  Dorpat  or  Rostock,  it  seems  better  to  consider  this  allocation 
only  provisional,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  figure  in  the  Zoologisches  Atlas  is  not  very  similar  to  the 
Ambystoma.    We  do  not,  however,  include  it  in  the  list.

1  There  Is  no  evidence  that  Baird  ever  described  this  species  which  is  generally  credited  to  him. 
Cope  (Proc.  Ac.  Nat.  Sci.  Phila.,  1869,  p.  100)  mentions  it  as  a  variety  of  Plethodon  cinereus,  thus, 
"Var.  7.  dorsaZts,  Baird,  M.S.  3776.  Louisville,  Ky.;  Salem,  Mass."  This  reference  is  a  nom«n  nwfum 
pure  and  simple. 

2  Green  described  this  species  and  also  named  the  synonymous  erythronohu  upon  the  same  page. 
It  therefore  remained  for  the  first  reviser  to  fix  the  correct  name  for  the  species.  This  Tschudi  did 
in  1838.

was  a  composite  species,  part  of  the  wording  which  Linne  intended  to  use  in  characterizing  the  black- 
snake  and  the  hog-nose  snake  having  been  combined  under  constrictor.  Thus  the  scale  counts  130- 
40  refer  to  the  hog-nose,  the  first  words  *'  Habitat  in  Canada.  Kalm,"  refer  to  the  black.  Then  we 
read  "  Maxillae  apex  sirmis  triqueler"  obviously  the  hog-nose  again.  Lastly  comes  an  abbreviated 
extract  of  Kalm's  account  of  the  black  snakes'  habits  "  Adoriiur  homines  circum  pedes  sese  convoltens, 
Med  innocuus."  Consequently,  Coluber  constrictor  of  1758  being  a  composite  species,  Linne,  in  1766, 
exercised  his  prerogative  as  first  reviser  to  correct  this  error.  So  that  in  the  twelfth  edition  (p.  385) 
we  find  the  black  snake  correctly  diagnosed,  using  much  of  the  same  wording  as  was  used  in  1758, 
with  the  name  constrictor  applied;  while  on  p.  373  we  find  the  hog-nose  renamed  —  contortrix  —  and 
assigned  to  the  genus  Boa.  The  description  fits  the  hog-nose  snake  accurately,  again  part  of  the  early 
diagnosis  being  repeated  and  reference  is  also  made  to  Catesby's  plate  figiu-ing  this  species.  This, 
renders  the  name  contortrix  untenable  for  the  Copperhead.
